Preserving....

I've been making pickles like a made woman of late, trying to use up my abundance of home grown produce... This morning saw me trying to put a bit of a twist on some old favourites.... The 2 jars on the left are 'Spicy Pickled Heirloom Cucumber' and the 2 jars on the right are 'Crystal Apple Cucumber Relish'.... I have a taste testing this evening with my sisterin town and if all goes well these 2 'new' varieties will be hitting the shelves at 'Country Simplicity'...... Which one would you like to taste??? I'll pop the recipe up on my blog for the most popular one according to your comments....

As promised here is the free washer pattern that I gave a sneak peak to in my last post....'Vintage Lace Washer'

Would love to see the spice recipe Jodie - have been using the same recipe for cucmber pickles as my mum and grandma use. While that is nice, would love a bit of a change for the next oicking of apple cue -ies coming on quickly.

I like the sound of the cucumber apple pickle... and thanks for the gorgeous pattern - will have to find some cotton in my stash but not before I finish the flipping gloves I have been promising myself I would get round to!...

mm yum, they both look so tasty! i'm voting for the crystal apple cucumber one, simply because as a child i would quite happily eat a whole apple cucumber in one sitting, or any cucumber for that matter, but apple cucumbers were a special favourite

These washers are really lovely, but I think I am not using the correct yarn because they come out so small. When you say washers, are they for your face? Sorry to sound stupid, but haven't heard that term before.

Hi Jodie, love the pickles and the washer... thanks for the pattern.. I am not a great knitter, but I will definately give it a go (it's so pretty! and my others so plain)I'm voting for the apple cucumber relish xx :)

Hi, just found your blog from Kristy @ Loweryourpresserfoot. Anyway... I just thought I would leave a quick comment. Seems your pretty busy canning etc... but I would just tell you that if you like sausages, hot dogs and the sort I have a great hot dog relish that is made from cucumbers! If your interested let me know! You can leave a comment on my blog!
